Read the excerpt from “egyptian tombs: a grave matter.”

for two months, carter and his team removed each of tutankhamen’s precious treasures one by one. they even removed his body. of course, this final raid was done in the name of science. however, after all of the items were scientifically studied and tested, they were never returned to the tomb. instead, the king’s treasures were scattered in various museums and homes throughout the globe. surprisingly, even though in 1922 grave-robbing was still considered a horrible crime, no one protested. what’s more, no one considered king tutankhamen’s view of the afterlife. for if the pharaoh’s beliefs were true, carter’s removal of tutankhamen’s treasure doomed the pharaoh to spend eternity as a poor god indeed.

the purpose of this excerpt is to show that

carter put a lot of care into the removal of the tomb’s contents.
scientific expeditions are very different from typical grave-robbing.
carter’s actions were similar to the actions of past grave robbers.
the contents of tutankhamen’s tomb can be found in museums.

The correct answer is C. Carter’s actions were similar to the actions of past grave robbers.

Explanation:

In texts, the purpose refers to the reason behind the text or the main point the writer wants to convey. In the text presented, the author explains Carter and his team removed Tutankhamen's body along with all the objects found in his tom, about this he emphasizes these items were never returned but sent to museums.

Moreover, the author explicitly states "no one considered King Tutankhamen’s view of the afterlife" which shows the author disagrees with this decision; besides this, the author states "even though in 1922 grave-robbing was still considered a horrible crime, no one protested" to show Carter and his team acted as grave robbers and it was morally wrong they removed all the objects that belonged to Tutankhamen. Thus, the purpose of this text is to show "Carter’s actions were similar to the actions of past grave robbers".

the american revolution was between the patriots and the british forces. the patriots believed that they needed independence from great britain, due to "lack of representation" and taxes. this tension resulted in the american revolution where both fought, but ultimately the patriots won. the french revolution was an upsurge/revolt between the monarchy (king louis xvi of france) and the bourgeoisie class (common people) demanding better pay and rights. this ultimately became an overthrow of the government, where king louis xvi of france and his spouse marie antoinette were executed for treason. the mexican revolution was caused by a disagreement on the morality of the dictatorship of president porfirio díaz, who remained in office for 31 years. (! d: )   in effect, the old and radical government was changed by the people to meet the economic needs of the people (yes diaz surrendered xd) all 3 revolutions were in response to another political power that controlled the freedom and liberty of the minority population. the british controlled the patriots. king louis xvi controlled the people of france, and dictator diaz controlled the poor civilians of mexico.
